Split Solitary Beach Caravan Park 19–22 March 2011

Our next stop was Sapphire Beach, about 10ks north of Coffs Harbour.  We had stayed there some years ago, on our way down the coast to Tasmania.  It is now known as Split Solitary Beach ,Why you ask? Who knows!!  We stayed here for 4 days.  It is a small quiet C/P with quite a few permanents and only $25.20 for a powered site which is cheap for that area (Coffs Harbour).  We picked up our mail and did some food shopping.  Other than that we sat round on our clackers and relaxed. We drove past the Giant Banana a couple of times, I must say it is looking a bit tired. We visited BCF in Coffs. and bought 2 new chairs. The old ones were going mouldy and getting harder to pack, so we have bought lighter ones which are easier to pack away.  When we are travelling we find that keeping the weight in the van down is an ongoing battle, so every 3 months or so, if it has not been used, OUT IT GOES!  Since buying The Mungrill we do very little cooking inside the van. With the BabyQ (Weber) and the Mung, we rarely use the van oven which is as useless as tits on a bull anyway!  If we could chuck it out we could save a bit of useless weight!!
